MODERN POLITICKING: Trump’s Ground Game Footprint Remains Small.
Jeremy Baker, a field director for AFP in central Pennsylvania, estimates he has knocked on 30,000 doors with his team. “Trump has a campaign office nearby, but I don’t see them out knocking on doors,” Baker said. “I’ve never seen a door hanger, I haven’t seen people walking around.”
Even in more populous areas of the state, like southeast Pennsylvania, Trump’s ground game has been invisible.
“They’ve started to see campaign people down there,” said Beth Anne Mumford, the Pennsylvania state director for AFP, who joined the canvassers that day. “But we haven’t seen presidential anywhere.”
This would be panic-inducing to see in a normal campaign, but Trump’s isn’t a normal campaign.
I suppose we’ll find out on November 8.
